In dieser Folge von "The Abyss" diskutieren wir die spannende und komplexe Szene aus dem gleichnamigen Film von James Cameron. Wir befinden uns in einem kritischen Moment, als die Charaktere versuchen, eine Trident-Rakete aus einem gesunkenen U-Boot unter enormen Druck und Zeitdruck zu bergen. Arne, Bastian und Alexander analysieren die verschiedenen filmtechnischen Aspekte dieser Sequenz, die sowohl herausfordernd als auch faszinierend ist. Wir beginnen mit der Beschreibung der anfänglichen Szenen, in denen die Charaktere an Bord des U-Bootes kämpfen, um bei einem aufziehenden Sturm die Kontrolle zu behalten. Wichtig ist hier die Diskussion über das dynamische Umfeld und die visuelle Inszenierung, die daran erinnert, wie wichtig die im Film eingesetzten Effekte für die emotionale Wirkung sind. Während die Charaktere mit der Übelkeit und den Herausforderungen des Einsatzes kämpfen, reflektieren wir die technische Realisation der Hotshots und die darauffolgenden Miniatur-Effekte. Ein zentrales Thema dieser Episode ist die kritische Betrachtung der Special Effects und deren Umsetzung zu der Zeit des Films. Bastian vertritt die Meinung, dass insbesondere die Stop-Motion-Sequenzen in dieser Szene nicht optimal wirken und einige Unstimmigkeiten aufweisen. Außerdem bringen wir den Punkt zur Sprache, dass die animierten Elemente in der Sequenz dazu führen, dass die Bewegungen nicht ganz flüssig erscheinen und wie diese Wahrnehmung durch die Gesamtinszenierung beeinflusst wird. Außerdem analysieren wir technische Details in Bezug auf die Handlung, zum Beispiel die Funktionalität und Realitätsnähe der verwendeten Geräte wie dem Greifarm und der Art und Weise, wie sie unter Wasser funktionieren sollen. Alexander hebt die interessante Diskussion über die Notwendigkeit von Checklisten als Sicherheitsmechanismus zur Fehlervermeidung bei solchen riskanten Operationen hervor, was zu einem tieferen Verständnis für die Charaktere und ihre Herausforderungen führt. Im weiteren Verlauf der Episode thematisieren wir die schockierenden Wendungen und das Drama, das sich entfaltet, als das U-Boot durch plötzliche Schiffsbewegungen und beginnenden Druck auf die Verbindungsstränge in Gefahr gerät. Wir erörtern, wie die Dramatik der Situation durch die musikalische Untermalung verstärkt wird und welche Kameratechniken verwendet wurden, um die klaustrophobische Atmosphäre im filmischen Setting zu erzeugen. Abschließend reflektieren wir über die erzählerischen und visuellen Elemente, die Cameron in „The Abyss“ geschickt miteinander verwebt und dabei ein unverwechselbares und intensives Zuschauererlebnis schaffen. Der hohe Spannungsbogen, gepaart mit technischem Geschick und filmischer Kreativität, bleibt ein zentrales Thema in dieser Analyse.

This was like visiting an old friend, albeit an old friend that'll shank you into the rough and screw you over every chance it gets. By today's standards, Hot Shots probably seems a little archaic. It's the classic 3-click system, the graphics are, well, PSOne graphics, and the gameplay can be brutally unforgiving. But look beyond that and what you have is the ground work for a series that so many people have fallen in love with over the years. I wouldn't necessarily say I prefer these to Mario Golf, but there's an argument for sure. My guest this week is the official referee of RTG, Mike The Ref. We both love sports games, and as such, both love Hot Shots Golf. We talk about how tough this game can be, how far the genre has come, and of course, the legendary Hot Shots multiplayer. And before we tee off, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro! This week, someone asks about Nintendo's consumer-unfriendly practices (which I agree with). Where do I stand on Canadian teams in the Stanley Cup Playoffs?? And yes, I address the new Ecco the Dolphin game. Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 old-school golf games: Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf, NES Open, and Kirby's Dream Course. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Coaching isn't just about forehands and footwork - it's about shaping resilient, positive, and purpose-driven people. In this episode, we're joined by the mother-daughter duo Helen Rice and Saskia Rice-Schaffeler from the Helen Rice Tennis School, whose legacy is grounded in developing tennis players and great humans. From decades of experience in Adelaide to coaching in Germany, they share insights into the art of communication, active listening, and creating trust in the coach-student relationship. Whether you're in the hospitality industry, on the tennis court, or leading a team, this conversation is packed with wisdom on mindset, mentorship, and lifelong learning. About Helen Rice – Professional Tennis Coach & Business Owner Helen Rice has been coaching tennis for over 45 years and founded the Helen Rice Tennis School in Adelaide, South Australia, in 1979. Alongside her coaching team, she has coached hundreds of children and adults – ranging from three to eighty-seven years old – including many third-generation families. The school currently operates across three clubs and numerous schools. A qualified Tennis Australia Club Professional coach, Helen has coached teams and squads for Tennis SA and has served as a mentor for Tennis Australia's Hot Shots and Cardio Tennis programs. She has also presented at both state and national coaching conferences. In 2017, she was awarded the prestigious Tennis Australia Newcombe Medal and has been a finalist on four other occasions. Helen currently serves on the board of the Women's Tennis Foundation and is a member of the Tennis Australia Coach Coalition. She and her daughter Saskia were honoured to be part of the inaugural Tennis Australia Women's Coach Connect workshop led by Nicole Pratt in 2022—an initiative designed to elevate and support women in coaching across the country. Outside of coaching, Helen's passions include art (she has sold numerous paintings at exhibitions), golf (with a best handicap of 6), learning German, and staying active. About Saskia Rice-Schaffeler – Professional Tennis Coach & Business Owner Saskia Rice-Schaffeler is a Tennis Australia–qualified Club Professional coach and joint business owner of the Helen Rice Tennis School. Her coaching journey began in high school as a casual role in her mother's business, continuing through university where she also supported the business in administration. She holds a Bachelor of Human Movement (Sport and Exercise Science) and, after considering careers in teaching and physiotherapy, chose to pursue tennis coaching and business management full-time. Saskia has coached in talent development for Tennis Australia and spent time coaching in Germany (in German). A passionate advocate for coach development, Saskia has worked in this space both within the Helen Rice Tennis School and for Tennis Australia. In 2022, she and Helen were invited to participate in the inaugural Tennis Australia Women's Coach Connect workshop with Nicole Pratt – a groundbreaking initiative supporting the growth and visibility of women in coaching.

It's a topsy-turvy world, and maybe the podcast of three people don't amount to a hill of beans. But this is our hill. And these are our beans! Therefore, on this episode of Baconsale, we're ranking parody movies. What are those? They're films that spoof previous works, but that's not important right now. What's really groovy, baby, is that we have 24 comedies that Joel, Kent, and Zack are going to be tiering, including funny flicks like Hot Shots!, Spaceballs, MacGruber, Tropic Thunder, Scary Movie, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and Waiting for Guffman. Some of them may not rank as high as you'd like, but that's a sacrifice we are willing to make. And beware of exclamation points(!), my wife references, and the Joel genre, as we decide IF we're going to make a sequel.   Put... the candle... back! Then press play.

Trump and his self-created Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, after the internet meme, is attempting to rein in the amount of national spending and the size of the federal government. About 32,000 of the 3 million federal employees are Arizonans, and the number of layoffs and buyouts offered by the Trump administration remains unclear. Most agencies that The Arizona Republic has reached out to for information about layoffs or buyouts have not responded. Slashing federal jobs will impact not only people who have been fired or offered a buyout, but also tourists to the Grand Canyon, Arizonans reliant on Social Security and Hotshots preparing for wildfire season. This week on The Gaggle, a politics podcast by The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, hosts Ron Hansen and Mary Jo Pitzl are joined by The Republic's national politics reporter Stephanie Murray. Murray covers the White House and has been closely following how Arizonans will be impacted by Trump's federal job cuts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We sit down with Sakarias to reflect on his 30-year journey in the jazz community, from running the Chicago Swing Dance Studio to training with the Hot Shots.

We also explore how the dance scene continues to evolve and Sakarias' experience playing in the Hornsgatan Ramblers band.

Tom Cruise refuses to age or stop being the main character of reality itself. He can't stop, because he has to train a bunch of beautiful people to fly into a weirdly specific trench run that's totally not the Death Star. This is cinema at its most perfectly ridiculous and ridiculously perfect.What elevation is the hard deck right now? Is that the biggest American flag ever made in their staff room? Is Ed O'Neal in this movie?? We don't shy away from the difficult conversations on this one. Does Joe think this movie deserves a Best Picture nomination? (He doesn't.) Can Greg watch a Top Gun movie without thinking of a Hot Shots movies? (He can't.) What elevation is the hard deck NOW? Has it changed?? Don't tell Jon Hamm, who is currently looking out his window while speaking to you. It's time to shoot at sunset/sunrise, paint on some sweat, and play football with uncomfortable clothing. That's right, it's time for TOP GUN: MAVERICK.Play along with drinking games and trope lightning rounds as Greg and Joe have the only conversation that needed to happen.

Who do you know who has skied Grand Targhee who has not skied everywhere? Targhee is not exactly unknown, but it's a little lost in skiing's Bermuda Triangle of Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, and Big Sky, a sunken ship loaded with treasure for whoever's willing to dive a little deeper.Most ski resort rankings will plant Alta-Snowbird or Whistler or Aspen or Vail at the top. Understandably so – these are all great ski areas. But I appreciate this take on Targhee from skibum.net, a site that hasn't been updated in a couple of years, but is nonetheless an excellent encyclopedia of U.S. skiing (boldface added by me for emphasis):You can start easy, then get as wild and remote as you dare. Roughly 20% of the lift-served terrain (Fred's Mountain) is groomed. The snowcat area (Peaked Mountain) is completely ungroomed, completely powder, totally incredible [Peaked is lift-served as of 2022]. Comparisons to Jackson Hole are inevitable, as GT & JH share the same mountain range. Targhee is on the west side, and receives oodles more snow…and therefore more weather. Not all of it good; a local nickname is Grand Foggy. The locals ski Targhee 9 days out of 10, then shift to Jackson Hole when the forecast is less than promising. (Jackson Hole, on the east side, receives less snow and virtually none of the fog). On days when the weather is good, Targhee beats Jackson for snow quality and shorter liftlines. Some claim Targhee wins on scenery as well. It's just a much different, less crowded, less commercialized resort, with outstanding skiing. Some will argue the quality of Utah powder…and they're right, but there are fewer skiers at Targhee, so it stays longer. Some of the runs at Targhee are steep, but not as steep as the couloirs at Jackson Hole. Much more of an intermediate mountain; has a very “open” feel on virtually all of the trails. And when the powder is good, there is none better than Grand Targhee. #1 ski area in the USA when the weather is right. Hotshots, golfcondoskiers and young skiers looking for “action” (I'm over 40, so I don't remember exactly what that entails) are just about the only people who won't call Grand Targhee their all-time favorite. For the pure skier, this resort is number one.Which may lead you to ask: OK Tough Guy then why did it take you five years to talk about this mountain on your podcast? Well I get that question about once a month, and I don't really have a good answer other than that there are a lot of ski areas and I can only talk about one at a time. But here you go. And from the way this one went, I don't think it will be my last conversation with the good folks at Grand old Targhee.What we talked aboutContinued refinement of the Colter lift and Peaked Mountain expansion; upgrading cats; “we do put skiing first here”; there's a reason that finance people “aren't the only ones in the room making decisions for ski areas”; how the Peaked expansion changed Targhee; the Teton Pass highway collapse; building, and then dismantling, Booth Creek; how ignoring an answering machine message led to the purchase of Targhee; first impressions of Targhee: “How is this not the most popular ski resort in America?”; imagining Booth Creek in an Epkonic alt reality; Targhee's commitment to independence; could Targhee ever acquire another mountain?; the insane price that the Gilletts paid for Targhee; the first time you see the Rockies; massive expansion potential; corn; fixed-grip versus detach; Targhee's high percentage of intermediate terrain and whether that matters; being next-door neighbors with “the most aspirational brand in skiing”; the hardest part of expanding a ski area; potential infill lifts; the ski run Gillett would like to eliminate and why; why we're unlikely to see a lift to the true summit; and why Targhee joined Mountain Collective but hasn't joined the Ikon Pass (and whether the mountain ever would).Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewA few things make Targhee extra relevant to our current ski moment:* Targhee is the only U.S. ski area aside from Sugar Bowl to join the Mountain Collective pass while staying off of Ikon.* In 2022, Targhee (sort of) quietly opened one of the largest lift-served North American ski expansions in the past decade, the 600-acre Peaked Mountain pod, served by the six-pack Colter lift.* The majority of large U.S. ski areas positioned on Forest Service land are bashful about their masterplans, which are publicly available documents that most resort officials wish we didn't know about. That's because these plans outline potential future expansions and upgrades that resorts would rather not prematurely acknowledge, lest they piss off the Chipmunk Police. So often when I'm like “Hey tell us about this 500-acre bowl-skiing expansion off the backside,” I get an answer that's something like, “well we look forward to working with our partners at the Forest Service to maybe consider doing that around the year 3000 after we complete our long-term study of mayfly migration routes.” But Geordie is just like, “Hell yes we want to blow the resort out in every direction like yesterday” (not an exact quote). And I freaking love the energy there.* Most large Western ski areas fall into one of two categories: big, modern, and busy (Vail, Big Sky, Palisades, Snowbird), or big, somewhat antiquated, and unknown (Discovery, Lost Trail, Silver). But Targhee has split the difference, being big, modern, and lesser-known, that rare oasis that gives you modern infrastructure (like fast lifts), without modern crowds (most of the time). It's kind of strange and kind of glorious, and probably too awesome to stay true forever, so I wanted to get there before the Brobot Bus unloaded.* Even 500-inches-in-an-average-winter Targhee has a small snowmaking system. Isn't that interesting?What I got wrong* I said that $20 million “might buy you a couple houses on the slopes at Jackson Hole.” It kind of depends on how you define “on the slopes,” and whether or not you can live without enough acreage for your private hippo zoo. If not, $24.5 million will get you this (I'm not positive that this one is zoned for immediate hippo occupation).* I said that 70 percent of Targhee's terrain was intermediate; Geordie indicated that that statistic had likely changed with the addition of the Peaked Mountain expansion. I'm working with Targhee to get updated numbers.Why you should ski Grand TargheeThe disconnect between people who write about skiing and what most people actually ski leads to outsized coverage of niche corners of this already niche activity. What percentage of skiers think that skiing uphill is fun? Can accomplish a mid-air backflip? Have ever leapt off a cliff more than four feet high? Commute via helicopter to the summit of their favorite Alaskan powder lines? The answer on all counts is probably a statistically insignificant number. But 99 percent of contemporary ski media focuses on exactly such marginal activities.In some ways I understand this. Most basketball media devote their attention to the NBA, not the playground knuckleheads at some cracked-concrete, bent-rim Harlem streetball court. It makes sense to look at the best and say wow. No one wants to watch intermediate skiers skiing intermediate terrain. But the magnifying glass hovering over the gnar sometimes clouds consumer choice. An average skier, infected by cliffity-hucking YouTubes and social media Man Bro boasting, thinks they want Corbet's and KT-22 and The Cirque at Snowbird. Which OK if you zigzag across the fall line yeah you can get down just about anything. But what most skiers need is Grand Targhee, big and approachable, mostly skiable by mostly anyone, with lots of good and light snow and a low chance of descent-by-tomahawk.Targhee's stats page puts the mountain's share of intermediate terrain at 70 percent, likely the highest of any major North American ski area (Northstar, another big-time intermediate-oriented mountain, claims 60 percent blue runs). I suspect this contributes to the resort's relatively low profile among destination skiers. Broseph Jones and his Brobot buddies examine the statistical breakdown of major resorts and are like “Yo cuz we want some Jackson trammage because we roll hard see.” Even though Targhee is bigger and gets more snow (both true) and offers a more realistic experience for the Brosephs.That's not to say that you shouldn't ski Jackson Hole. Everyone should. But steeps all day are mentally and physically draining. It's nice most of the time to not be parkouring down an elevator shaft. So go to Targhee too. And you can whoo-hoo through the deep empty trees and say “dang Brah this is hella rad Brah.” And it is.Podcast NotesOn the Peaked Mountain expansionThe Peaked Mountain terrain has been marked on Targhee's trailmap for years, but up until 2022, it was accessible mostly via snowcat:In 2022, the resort dropped a six-pack back there, better defined the trail network, and brought Peaked into the lift-served terrain package:On Grand Targhee's masterplanHere's the overview of Targhee's Forest Service master development plan. You can see potential expansions below Blackfoot (left in the image below), looker's right of Peaked/Colter (upper right), and below Sacajawea (lower right):Here's a better look at the so-called South Bowl proposal, which would add a big terrain pod contiguous with the recent Peaked expansion:Here's the MDP's inventory of proposed lifts. These things often change, and the “Peaked DC-4” listed below actualized as the Colter high-speed sixer:Targhee's snowmaking system is limited, but long-term aspirations show potential snowmaking stretching toward the top of the Dreamcatcher lift:On opposition to all of this potential expansionThere are groups of people masquerading as environmental commandos who I suspect oppose everything just to oppose it. Like oh a bobcat pooped next to that tree so we need to fence the area off from human activity for the next thousand years. But Targhee sits within a vast and amazing wilderness, the majority of which is and should be protected forever. But humans need space too, and developing a few hundred acres directly adjacent to already-developed ski terrain is the most sustainable and responsible way to do this. It's not like Targhee is saying “hey we're going to build a zipline connecting the resort to the Grand Teton.” But nothing in U.S. America can be achieved without a minimum of 45 lawsuits (it's in the Constitution), so these histrionic bozos will continue to exist.On Net Promoter Score and RRCI'm going to hurt myself if I try to overexplain this, so I'll just point toward RRC's Net Promoter Score overview page and the company's blog archive highlighting various reports. RRC sits quietly behind the ski industry but wields tremendous influence, assembling the annual Kotke end-of-season statistical report, which offers the most comprehensive annual overview of the state of U.S. skiing.On the reason I couldn't go to Grand Targhee last yearSo I was all set up to hit Targhee for a day last year and then I woke up in the middle of the night thinking “Gee I feel like I'm gonna die soon” and so I did not go skiing that day. Here's the full story if you are curious how I ended up not dying.On the Peaked terrain expansion being the hypothetical largest ski area in New HampshireI'll admit that East-West ski area size comparisons are fundamentally flawed. Eastern mountains not named Killington, Smugglers' Notch, and Sugarloaf tend to measure skiable terrain by acreage of cut trails and maintained glades (Sugarbush, one of the largest ski areas in the East by pure footprint, doesn't even count the latter). Western mountains generally count everything within their boundary. Fair enough – trying to ski most natural-growth eastern woods is like trying to ski down the stands of a packed football stadium. You're going to hit something. Western trees tend to be higher altitude, older-growth, less cluttered with undergrowth, and, um, more snow-covered. Meaning it's not unfair to include even unmarked sectors of the ski area as part of the ski area.Which is a long way of saying that numbers are hard, and that relying on ski area stats pages for accurate ski area comparisons isn't going to get you into NASA's astronaut training academy. Here's a side-by-side of 464-acre Bretton Woods – New Hampshire's largest ski area – and Targhee's 600-acre Peaked Mountain expansion, both at the same scale in Google Maps. Clearly Bretton Woods covers more area, but the majority of those trees are too dense to ski:And here's an inventory of all New Hampshire ski areas, if you're curious:On the Teton Pass highway collapseYeah so this was wild:On Booth CreekGrand Targhee was once part of the Booth Creek ski conglomerate, which now exists only as the overlord for Sierra-at-Tahoe. Here's a little history:On the ski areas at Snoqualmie Pass being “insane”We talk a bit about the “insane” terrain at Summit at Snoqualmie, a quirky ski resort now owned by Boyne. The mountain was Frankensteined together out of four legacy ski areas, three of which share a ridge and are interconnected. And then there's Alpental, marooned across the interstate, much taller and infinitely rowdier than its ho-hum brothers. Alpy, as a brand and as a badass, is criminally unknown outside of its immediate market, despite being on the Ikon Pass since 2018. But, as Gillett notes, it is one of the roughest, toughest mountains going:On Targhee's sinkholePer Jackson Hole News and Guide in September of last year:About two weeks ago, a day or so after torrential rain, and a few days after a downhill mountain biking race concluded on the Blondie trail, Targhee ski patrollers noticed that something was amiss. Only feet away from the muddy meander that mountain bikers had zipped down, a mound of earth had disappeared.In its place, there was a hole of unknown, but concerning, size.Subsequent investigations — largely, throwing rocks into the hole while the resort waits for more technical tools — indicate that the sinkhole is at least 8 feet wide and about 40 feet deep, if not more. There are layers of ice caking the walls a few feet down, and the abyss is smack dab in the middle of the resort's prized ski run.Falling into a sinkhole would be a ridiculous way to go. Like getting crushed by a falling piano or flattened under a steamroller. Imagine your last thought on earth is “Bro are you freaking kidding me with this s**t?”On the overlap between Mountain Collective and IkonMountain Collective and Ikon share a remarkable 26 partner ski areas. Only Targhee, Sugar Bowl, Marmot Basin, Bromont, Le Massif du Charlevoix, and newly added Megève have joined Mountain Collective while holding out on Ikon.The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

When we talk about The Naked Gun (1988), we're diving headfirst into a comedy treasure chest—one filled with absurdity, brilliant wordplay, and visual gags that just don't stop. This Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker (ZAZ) film, starring the ever-stoic Leslie Nielsen as the bumbling detective Lt. Frank Drebin, stands as one of the defining examples of slapstick parody. It's a film that has aged remarkably well, continuing to resonate with new audiences and reminding those who saw it back in 1988 just how funny an entirely ridiculous movie can be.Plot and Storytelling: Simplicity at its FunniestAt its core, The Naked Gun is a detective story—a genre that's been spoofed many times but never quite with the same flair as this film. The plot revolves around Lt. Drebin, a man dedicated to solving crimes but utterly incapable of doing so with any amount of skill or professionalism. In The Naked Gun, Drebin is tasked with thwarting a plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth II during her visit to Los Angeles. The story quickly evolves into a chaotic blend of police procedural satire, ridiculous missteps, and wildly inappropriate antics, all the while managing to maintain an air of sincerity, thanks to Nielsen's deadpan performance.The film plays it smart by not worrying too much about the intricacies of the plot. Instead, it focuses on building its jokes around the absurdity of the situation and the cluelessness of its characters. It's almost as if the ZAZ team were saying, “We know the plot's thin, but you're here for the laughs, right?” And laugh we do—from the first moment to the iconic final act at the baseball stadium. Whether it's a visual gag or a clever line of dialogue, every scene is packed with humour.The Genius of Leslie Nielsen: Deadpan PerfectionBefore The Naked Gun, Leslie Nielsen had a long career in more serious roles but found his true calling as a comedic actor in Airplane! (1980)—also directed by ZAZ. That film launched Nielsen's second wind as a parody star, and his portrayal of Frank Drebin cemented his legacy as the king of deadpan humour. The genius of Nielsen lies in his ability to deliver the most ridiculous lines with the gravitas of a Shakespearean actor. There's no winking at the camera or over-the-top physical comedy; Nielsen plays it as straight as possible, making the absurdity around him even funnier.Take, for example, one of the film's most famous lines: “Nice beaver.” Drebin says this with no awareness of the double entendre, but when Jane Spencer (Priscilla Presley) responds by handing him a literal stuffed beaver, the joke lands perfectly. This sort of naive, deadpan delivery that Nielsen mastered makes Frank Drebin one of the most lovable oafs in cinematic history.Supporting Cast: A Perfect EnsembleOf course, Nielsen is supported by a stellar cast, each contributing to the film's comic rhythm. Priscilla Presley plays Jane Spencer, Drebin's love interest, and her straight-laced performance brilliantly complements Nielsen's obliviousness. The chemistry between Presley and Nielsen feels oddly genuine, grounding the film just enough to allow the wild antics around them to feel even more surreal.George Kennedy, as Drebin's partner, Captain Ed Hocken, provides another layer of deadpan delivery, playing the more serious cop who happens to be swept along by Drebin's incompetence. Meanwhile, Ricardo Montalbán, as the villain Vincent Ludwig, brings an elegant, almost Bond-villain-style menace to the role, perfectly contrasting Drebin's clumsy crime-fighting attempts. Montalbán's role is particularly memorable for how seriously he seems to take his part—his dignity adding to the hilarity of the situations he finds himself in.Slapstick and Sight Gags: Nonstop and RelentlessZucker, Abrahams, and Zucker excel in their unique brand of humour, and The Naked Gun is no exception. The film is filled with sight gags that reward multiple viewings. For instance, in the opening scene, Drebin foils an international conspiracy while hilariously bumbling his way through a fight with some of the world's most notorious villains. The film doesn't waste a moment to make you laugh—whether it's Drebin inadvertently causing chaos during a press conference or his notorious attempt to sing the national anthem at a baseball game.One standout moment is the baseball stadium scene, where Drebin, disguised as an umpire, ends up calling the game. This sequence showcases Nielsen's impeccable timing and the film's mastery of physical comedy. Drebin's complete misunderstanding of how baseball works leads to a series of increasingly ridiculous events, all while keeping the assassination plot in the background. It's a perfect example of how The Naked Gun balances slapstick with satire, layering gags on top of each other for maximum effect.Pop Culture and Cultural Impact: The Birth of a ClassicThe Naked Gun was an instant hit when it was released, not just because it was funny, but because it tapped into something fresh at the time: the spoof genre had been gaining steam in the 1980s, but few films did it as relentlessly or as successfully as The Naked Gun. Its success spawned two sequels—The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991) and The Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult (1994)—both continued Drebin's absurd adventures.But the film's influence extended beyond its sequels. It paved the way for other parody films, helping solidify the ZAZ brand of comedy, which had already been popularised by Airplane! and Top Secret! (1984). It also led to an entire generation of comedies that relied on rapid-fire jokes and visual gags, like Hot Shots! (1991) and Scary Movie (2000). Even modern-day comedy shows, like Brooklyn Nine-Nine, owe a debt to The Naked Gun for its ability to blend procedural elements with comedy.The Enduring Legacy of Frank DrebinThe Naked Gun remains a beloved comedy classic over three decades after its release. Part of that is due to its unique combination of clever wordplay, slapstick humour, and pure silliness, but it's also because of the character of Frank Drebin. In a sea of competent, smooth-talking detectives, Drebin is a breath of fresh air—a man who's as clueless as he is sincere. There's something timeless about how Leslie Nielsen approaches the role, never once letting Drebin become a caricature but always playing him with heart, no matter how foolish he seems.For fans of parody, The Naked Gun is essential viewing. It's the kind of film you can watch repeatedly and still find something new to laugh at. Whether you're a die-hard fan revisiting the movie or a newcomer discovering Drebin's antics for the first time, The Naked Gun never fails to deliver pure comedic gold.So, if you haven't yet revisited this classic, now's the time. Just be prepared to laugh—over and over again.

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! Today, we're revisiting Hot Shots!—the 1991 spoof directed by Jim Abrahams that attempts to poke fun at "Top Gun" and other Hollywood blockbusters. While the film aims for the comedic heights of predecessors like Airplane! and The Naked Gun, our take is that its humor hasn't aged as well, feeling a bit dated compared to these classics.A Missed Mark in Parody Hot Shots! casts Charlie Sheen as Topper Harley, a renegade fighter pilot navigating a ludicrously exaggerated military world. The film is loaded with slapstick, visual puns, and a barrage of gags, but often the comedy feels more forced than naturally funny, lacking the organic wit that made Airplane! a standout.Forced Fun The narrative follows Topper as he's drawn back into a bizarre mission dubbed "Operation Sleepy Weasel." Throughout his journey, Topper deals with a complicated love interest and competitive fellow pilots. While the scenes aim for laughs—like a melodramatic food fight sequence—they sometimes miss the mark, feeling more like a checklist of parodies rather than a fluid comedic storyline.Why It Feels LacklusterComparative Humor: When placed alongside Airplane! and The Naked Gun, the humor in Hot Shots! feels less sharp. The gags, while abundant, don't always land with the same impact, and the parodies can seem a bit on-the-nose without the clever subtlety of its predecessors.Outdated Jokes: Many of the jokes that might have tickled audiences in the early '90s now come off as outdated, and the film's reliance on specific movie tropes from that era can alienate newer viewers who aren't as familiar with the original material.Performance Style: Charlie Sheen's deadpan style, although appropriate for the genre, doesn't always carry the comedic weight necessary to elevate the material, especially when the script falters.The Double-Edged Sword of Satire Hot Shots! attempts to critique the machismo and absurdity of action films through satire, but it also falls prey to its own ridicule by not consistently delivering the smart or engaging humour needed to make its critique effective.Why It's an Interesting Watch Even though Hot Shots! may not match up to the comedic success of its more famous counterparts, it serves as an interesting study in how parody films can hit—or miss—the mark. Watching it can provide insights into how humour evolves and why some jokes stand the test of time while others fade.So, join us as we dissect Hot Shots!, not just for laughs, but to better understand the challenges of creating timeless comedy in the fast-paced world of film parody. Whether revisiting or exploring for the first time, there's plenty to learn from how this movie attempts to tickle our funny bones.
